Thmph as one of the griffins pounces smack dab on her face. "Shit that hurts" as she pushed them off of her. "Talk about a wake up call, are you two hungry". "Alright lets go get you fed." A soft squishing sound came to her ears at the same time she felt something lukewarm and soft pushing up between her toes. As the smell of sulfur hit her nose. Jumping around trying to get it off her foot realizing she just stepped right into poop. Hoping on one foot to the door and down the stairs trying not to get dung all over the house she finally made it out the back door. As the baby griffins flapped there wings around her head.
Looking up from his study Hanson saw Zena hopping by as fast as she could. With in a second he realized what must have happened. With a roar of laughter busting out of him at the same time. Getting up he followed her down the hall an through the kitchen.
After some swearing and about 15 minutes of wiping her foot of in the grass then rinsing it of in little fish pound she finally had it all off. "Hope you two are happy about that" as she reached out with her mind she could feel there moods and bright light colors coming from them. The snowy white one was as radiant white glow coming from her mind as happy and warm feeling rolled over. Compared to the stormy gray he had a reddish orange glow of mischief in his mind as he flow above his sister, the image of him dive bombing her and taking here to the ground. A split second later he flooded his wings in and dropped like a stone down on top of her pushing her to the ground as they began to play. Pushing off the ground shooting into the air the circled each other. Riding the wind like a boat on the waves.
Braking out of the circling play the male swoop down to the ground snatching something up in his beak. Keeping here link with both griffins Zena felt a wave of satisfaction role over her. He was so proud of making his first kill of the little green lizard dangling from his mouth. Standing there watching him toss the dead lizard in the air playing with it like a puppy with a brand new toy. Rolling in the air. Soon his sister zips in trying to steel in they each had half of it in there mouths pulling at it. Using here beastmaster power Zena sending an image of the two coming to her and giving here the lizard. As the two revived this image the little girl let it drop from her mouth.
Landing right in front of her Zena held out her hand for the lizard. He dropped the limp broken body into her hand. She turn to the wood pile next to the pond and using the ax there cut this lizard in half. Looking at them sending images from her mind letting them know that from now on they needed to catch there own food if they want to eat it. A smug emotion came across for the little boy, with that Zena sent an image of sharing to him.
With that she gave them each half of the lizard that they eat down quickly. Holding out her arm the snowy griffin climbed of her arm and onto her shoulder rapping around the back of here neck. Picking the stormy gray one up and holding him in her arms. Zena turned and walked back into the house.
As she walked in Hanson was cutting up some meat into a fine pace. "Bring those little ones over so they can eat"
Before she could say anything the little griffins jumped from her to the counter and began to gobble it all up.
"So have you come up with names for them yet?"
"Yes, I'm going to name them after the gods." " Whenvear for she is bright and soft like the spring winds. "Then Rudrac for he is as fierce and strong as the northern winds."
"Those are good strong names" "Let's finish our talk from last night" leading the way back down the hall to his study.
"So what do you plan on doing next?" "Will you stay here with use or choose to avenge you family?" As he set there looking and reading Zena's facially expression.
Taking a deep breath in before she replied. "Well I want to take revenge for my family." Hanson crossed his fingers wiggling his thumbs around each other nodding his head at the same time.
"But I do not have the strength to do so!" With a slight hesitation she looked at Hanson with tears forming in her eyes. "What do I do?"
Smiling, Hanson replied "before I give you any advice, I need to know what power, strength and your weakness are."
"Well you know my bloodline power is Beast Master, and my two other magic powers are Overgrowth and Chameleon. I'm good with a bow, hunting, tracking, and riding."
"That's a start Zena, is there any weapon skills you have besides the bow?"
"I can use a knife for hunting an skinning but other then that I have no weapon skills."
Hanson took a minute to examine her before continuing. "Well then the first step will be for you to learn a weapon style, the long and great swords are out. I don't feel that a hammer or ax are the right fit for you." "What do you think about a short sword or dagger."
"Well i do like the idea of the using two daggers. But i would also like to have something with reach. Maybe like a trident or spear.'
With a surprised look on his face, Hanson began to scratch his chin. Leaving his chair and moving to one of the shelfs with scrolls on it he started searching threw them. "If thats the case I know just the person to send you to so you can learn from." "There it is just the map i was looking for." Unrolling it before them on the desk he quickly dipped his quell into the ink well and made a mark on the map.
"So last I hear Master Robbie was living here in Golden Carp Falls, it is a beautiful city built into the side of the mountain on ether side of the waterfall there." "I'll send a letter letting him know both of you "
"Both use what do you mean by that Sir?"
"Zena if you would finish letting me talk you would understand. I will be sending you and Finley both for training. She already know some sword skill and able is able to beat most of the guys in town. So with your bow skills with her sword you shouldn't have any problems. But we will wait for his reply before you two set off." "Go explore the city and relax we should hear back in a four or five days."
